My prediction for the future of communications lies in the future of technology itself. We can never have enough gadgets and gizmos for our own modern convenience, right?
It is no secret that AI is quickly taking over the world. I think that in the future, everyone in communications and similar fields will know how to program or use AI’s to some extent. Just like we learn English, math, and science as core classes from a young age all the way through college, I believe that AI will also become a core class taught from a young age and become a requirement for all students to take for a certain number of years as well. MIT is already taking step sin this direction by building an AI school and developing AI degree programs, which will be the first of its kind in the U.S.
Communications based job positions already require candidates to be a jack of all trades and know a little bit about everything related to the business they are working for, so I can see AI quickly becoming another requirement for digital communicators of the future to know well. I think that it will still be quite a few years before this future becomes a reality, but the importance of AI is obvious when it comes to optimizing time, data, performance, and results for companies of all kinds.
